Superstar Bill Cosby and the legendary Sidney Poitier ("Sneakers", "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?") -- stars of "Uptown Saturday Night" and "Let's Do It Again" -- re-team in their third unstoppable comedy/adventure, playing a pair of modern-day Robin Hoods trying to straighten out a menagerie of teen-aged incorrigibles. Co-starring James Earl Jones ("Patriot Games"), Tracy Reed ("Knots Landing"), Ja'net DuBois ("Good Times") and Denise Nicholas ("Room 222"), with a classic R&B score by Curtis Mayfield ("Superfly") and directed by Poitier.
How does retired cop Joshua Burke (James Earl Jones) get two career criminals, Manny Durrell (Sidney Poitier) and Dave Anderson (Bill Cosby), to follow the straight and narrow? Con them into helping juvenile delinquents turn over a new leaf. But how? Burke has never been able to nail the duo, but he uses what he knows of their seedy past to blackmail them into volunteering.

A Piece Of The ActionThis is one of the most creative movies I have seen, upon coming up as a youngster back in the day. love how the story line and plot went, beautiful. And I hate to say that with all the remakes of motion picture films out today. The industry should not even touch this movie and remake. But happy to say if they did they would need the right cast of actress and actors. And not ruin it, but it would be nice too see a updated version. But nothing beats a "classic"!!!!!!.Score: 5/5
Bill and Sidney IIIThis is a good movie, not as great as "Let's do it Again" but worth the watch..Score: 4/5

The movie is a great classic!!!I rented the movie and had 29 days to watch,but its gone. What's up with that!!! I was getting ready to watch it. All those classic movies from that era was relaxing to watch and the music couldn't beat it. It told the story. I sure would like to see A Piece Of The Action movie the I rented..Score: 5/5
Fun 70's FlashbackFrom the trailer, I wasn't sure whether I'd like this movie, but I took a chance—and I'm glad I did. The acting is good all the way around, but Portier, Cosby, and Jones gave stand-out performances. It's a good story with great execution..Score: 3/5
Worth WatchingIf you are trying to determine if you should watch this movie, then take from me and proceed with renting or purchasing the movie. Bill and Sidney don't disappoint in this film. My main critique is that the movie should labeled as a drama instead of a comedy. This movie had some comedic scenes, but it was a lot more serious than I expected. (Warning, it has quite a bit of profanity for those who may want to know that information)..Score: 3/5

A Piece of the ActionI fell in love with this movie the first time I saw it! It is one of my all time favorites. I love Bill Cosby and Sydney Poitier. I have several favorite scenes, but the part when Barbara (Sheryl L. Ralph) is going ham on the teacher is off the chain. Love this movie!.Score: 5/5
